About this map

Kenduskeag Stream meanders through the heart of Penobscot County, defining the rural character of these interconnected townships in the early 1980s. The landscape is marked by a network of small settlements including Exeter Mills, East Exeter, and West Corinth, which appear as quiet crossroads within a heavily wooded and stream-fed terrain. The density of family and town burial grounds, such as Osgood Cem, Boutelle Cem, and Mt Pleasant Cem, offers significant evidence for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in the Exeter and Corinth areas.

Industrial activity is reflected in numerous scattered Gravel Pits, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the expanse of Pleasant Lake. The infrastructure of the period is represented by regional landmarks like Central High Sch and a Landing Strip near West Levant. The map details a transition from the elevated peaks of Bragg Hill and Eaton Hill down toward the wet lowlands surrounding Harveys Pond, showing a classic Maine interior geography of ridges and brooks.
